She should realise that being killed by an ability often means your strategy does not effectively counter said move, and the saying "don't knock it tell you try it" comes into play. She won't fully understand until she plays the class.

My opinion is to have her play titan. I don't use shoulder charge because i suck at using that ability. lol

Ah I don't know. There's been plenty of times a shoulder charging titan has been running straight at me only to be dropped by a few bullets to the head or a shotgun blast to the chest. It's the sneaky out of nowhere shoulder charges which catch you off guard which momentarily frustrate - but even then I'm usually like "Well I should have been paying more attention to the radar or I shouldn't spend so long with my weapon scoped or I should be more mobile and make myself a harder target" As for the hammers, I think they are no worse than the storm trance or golden gun apart from the aoe if they spec that way.

Satire because no you got no girl. Ok seriously tho I think you're right play the class before you judge. That's why I have a three and stormcallers is easy AF IMO

I don't think as a class they are overpowered, but some aspects of their Striker class is. The melee is super strong, even after just taking 2 bullets from a pulse rifle, bullets not bursts, if they melee you, you're dead. The Lightning grenade, to me, is the most anything thing in the game ATM, the cone of damage is absolutely massive. Then there's the super itself, no one get used it to take out heavy or a group of people, the always use it to kill a single person if they come up behind them or they are losing a gunfight in close quarters. Edit: Also to comment on OP's actual opinions, just because something is nerfed doesn't mean it's not strong anymore. When I play on a Sunbreaker Titan, every time I pop my super, I get at least 2-3 kills, so it's still plenty viable. Also if you believe Titans are OP and it's fair, you're wrong. Just because Titans were neglected in year 1 doesn't justify them being overpowered now, this is the argument I made when people defended pre-nerf Sunbreaker.

Bubble Titan and Sunbreaker are fine Striker Titans are a class build on noob friendly Abilities

I hate Titans but they straight.. If I had to say something it would be that shoulder charge should have a cool down or a burn a melee

If you set any subclass in the game properly, max armor and a chest piece with matching subclass armor increase, you can survive a shoulder charge. Peregrine Greaves are now a viable option in Crucible.

Defender is the best class in the game imo

Experiencing abilities yourself is the only way to determine if something is OP or not.

Who cares about anything you have to say other than being jealous you can argue about such things with a partner!? I think one of the "problems" with this game or community is everyone wants to feel like they can survive every situation, and if they can't, they were killed in a way which "takes no skill". Sometimes, you walk round a corner to challenge some red armed with a scout rifle, and you're face to face with a charging titan. You're dead. Another time you turn the corner and the titans charging but he's miles off. He's dead. Sometimes you're outplayed, sometimes you're just unlucky. Not that we/BG shouldn't strive for balance, but i think the above can tend to skew peoples perceptions sometimes. Its hard not to get frustrated when you feel like you should've won an engagement, for eg i don't like a sniper having time to double bodyshot me when i'm shooting him in the face at scout rifle range. Personally i think shoulder charge is ok as is. Its relatively high risk in that it puts you right onto close quarters, potentially inside an enemy "base". I haven't found myself getting killed by it all that often. Tbh at this stage in the games life i find myself being killed the most by ridiculously skilled players. People who are savants with sniper rifles, can repeatedly land headshots on me regardless of what i'm doing and who always know exactly where i am while i'm running i circles trying to find them.

My shoulder charge hit detection is broken most of the time
